One of the best things about working here was the sense of team work and community that was instilled throughout the entire staff and regional management. The compensation is fair, and opportunity for growth abounds!

Cons

Customers sometimes disagree with property policies. When you are attempting to check in a guest late at night this can be a little stressful/scary.

Not much to report as the company is looking out for the bottom line and could care less about the employees.

Cons

After the company decided to go public they cut jobs and would only allow part time hiring to avoid paying healthcare. They do not give promotions and company values are very one sided. Work and life balance is very tipped, expecting 24/7 . Regional sales staff do not believe in what they sell and are doing it just to keep their jobs. Initiatives are a joke and very expensive to market. Best to spend it on hiring more property staff and give back hours to do sales and work to bring business in.

That tells you a lot....
